"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

Blazed through this one in about four days. First thoughts that come to mind are “compelling,” “very funny,” and “Christ.“

Rewatching peak after the most recent Talkin’ Toons episode and a recent post here about it! Having been on a cross-country family road trip with a similar shape to it myself, I’m loving all the little details.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

sorry if this seems harsh but I don't think the president should be allowed to post "a whole civilization will die tonight" and still be president

Listened to a couple YouTube videos from a new channel and kept thinking “This has distinct NPR cadence and editing.” I googled the hosts and saw “formerly of Vox and NPR…” Just a total called shot.

Project Hail Mary is a great time and a fantastic date movie. I think it’s interesting though to see how this kind of movie has evolved throughout the past 50 years.

Welp, I’m sold.

when you've been struggling with a mental illness long enough it becomes offensive that it still works on you. bitch I know exactly what you are, stop making me sad and tired

I feel like Outlook must be using AI for its grammar checks now, which is annoying because it’s constantly wrong. It’s wrong in the way everyone most commonly gets grammar wrong though, which is why I’m pretty sure it’s the case.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I’m watching Beauty and the Beast, and when the townsfolk attack the castle, the pots and pans are chucking tomatoes at them or whatever, but the wardrobe obliterates a guy and they immediately cut away from it. Caught me completely off guard. It might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in a movie

I do this constantly because the next town over is where The Good Theater is

Fun fact Re: this Easy Street passage - In college, I wrote two papers on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels: one about Jungian archetypes, and another about how Scott’s avoidance/absorption of the Negascott is kind of the whole point of his character, a kind of third-act Shakespearean climax.

Man, this was such a great year for movies. The best to ever do it just keep doin’ it. So many stuck with me and led me to read essays and history and commentary before rewatching. This year I also further explored PTA‘s and Rian Johnson’s body of work.

diet sprite should be as ubiquitous as diet coke. it's weird that we replicated the red/white wine model with sodas and then never popularized its chardonnay

FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY!!!

Last year, my resolution was to start showing up for myself. Happy to say I accomplished it. Began my training arc for acting, started therapy, and did plenty of other important work to try and find me.

Had a hell of a time trying to find Easy Street (The Hard Way) by Ron Perlman at the bookstore, which I’ve been interested in since I read a section of it while browsing years ago. Until it ships to me, I’m reaching for The Murder on the Links, a Poirot mystery I haven’t read yet.

Now reading: Tom Lake by Ann Patchett. A woman tells her grown children the story of a fling she had as an actress in a summer stock theater festival, which expands into a greater story of how she met her husband, who they were before their children, what could have been, and what eventually was.

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

I browsed Tubi after our Columbo night last week and it is the most eclectic catalogue out there. Every suggested category is a whiplash. I love it

Catch me as Sanders in The Jester and the Madman, out on Steam and now featuring a full cast of voice actors! And remember… Homeland always acts in your best interest.

Never give up on your dreams.

Sorry one more

Damn it Walter! Everything is a fucking travesty with you man! And what was all that shit about Malevelon Creek!

The editing and sound design in this is so stellar. You can really just close your eyes and see it playing like a movie. Catch me as Rodney (and several other roles) in the 2025 show from The Distant Silence Radio Hour!

watching the original SPACE JAM with the kids and my four year old, who seems to be a budding film critic, just complained, "it's been so long and we're not even in space!"

I play Jorundr Skalblade in the newly released Fresh Blood mod for Skyrim, the latest from prolific mod developer kvatchcount! It features 25 unique and fully-voiced NPC allies for you to recruit to the Dawnguard as well as original music. www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/...

"Yes...Kingdom Hearts... Rejoice, and feast on these hearts we offer! Shine your pale light on this empty realm... Share your power with all Nobodies!"

Live, directed recording sessions are so electric. I love recording alone and really getting lost in my imagination, but collaborating with someone else who’s so passionate about the script really brings out incredible discoveries. 3 hour sessions just fly by.

“Ohio” is out on YouTube and Spotify! In this one, I play two dads with two very different goals—one in the framing story having a fun day with the family, and another in the final tale running after his daughter.

the baby has stolen something but doesn’t have the language skills to tell me where she put it. this is bullshit. she’s laughing at me

Go listen to the latest episode of Your Horror Show! In this episode written by Steve Lloyd and filled with great performances and editing, I play Cameron, a former soldier trapped in an endless looping nightmare.

My debut episode with anthology podcast Tales from the Janitor has been released on Spotify and YouTube! I first recorded for them several months ago, and I’ll be in several upcoming episodes as well playing a bunch of fun characters. youtu.be/fwkxOmgC3sk
